Upon arrival at Tok Bah and Nek Neng's house, I immediately fixed my clothes. My room was next to the rooms of Aunt Mia and Aunt Mini which they rarely occupied upstairs.
When I finished, I helped Grandma cook dinner. After dinner, Tok Bah calls me.
"Yet, tomorrow you will be able to register a school. Have you decided which school to go to?" ask the Bah.
"Tok Bah. Before coming here, Ita already got the school info that Ita is interested in," I replied.
"Alright then, but Tok Bah can't get you to sign up. Tomorrow Tok Bah has to enter the office because it is Monday" explained Tok Bah.
"Yes Tok Bah, everything is ready. Ita to where it rises what Tok Bah? It's far away," I asked.
"In the garage there's a Tok Bah bike, but the model is a boy's bike. Can you use it?"
"Can dong, Tok Bah. Thank you Tok Bah and grandma for accepting Ita here. If there's no help from Tok Bah, Ita doesn't know how to continue school" I said.
"Don't think about that. Tok Bah has no children. If it's not helping the family, who else is Tok Bah helping" said Tok Bah.
"Yes, don't hesitate here Ta. Consider it your own home. We are now your grandparents here" Neng smiled.
"Yes Tok Bah, Grandpa Neng. Thank you," I replied.
I am very grateful for the help of Tok Bah and Neng. They are present at the right time. We also went for a break.
Next day. I was getting ready to apply to the school I wanted. Using a bicycle, ride vigorously. The distance from home to school is far. It can be 45 minutes if you pedal casually. Arriving there, I met the security guard and asked where the registration was. The security guard happily pointed out his direction.
"Here the Deck, the place of registration. Please go inside, take the form and fill it out," explained the security guard.
I went into the administration and asked for a form. I filled out all the requested data. The name of my parents and who my guardian will be. There is pain in my heart, that my guardian is not my father. Finished meeting all the requirements, I was asked to come in three more days, to see if I registered or not.

Three days later, I went back to school. Hopefully I can graduate. I stared at one by one the names of prospective students and students listed on the board according to the department I selected, majoring in office administration. Thank God my name is on there. If I don't remember being in a crowd, I've been prancing around with excitement while screaming happily.
"Hi, you're Ita right? SDN 06 alumni?" ask a pretty student.
"Yes, right. I'm sorry, maybe I forgot, whose name are you and what were we in one school?" I was curious about the friendly figure in front of me.
"I'm Beautiful. Remember not your first national exam at SDN 43 Al-Falah? I went to school there, "clearly beautiful.
"MasyaAllah. Yes, I remember now. Aren't we sitting next to just another table?" reply enthusiastically.
"Yes, right. You list the school here too, Ta?"
"Yes, Beautiful. I majored in office administration. That you?"
"Sama dong's. Hopefully we're the same class, Ta?" beautiful words are no less enthusiastic
"Amijin ... Hopefully it's beautiful. Who are you here with?"
"Oyes almost forgot. Introduce these to my friends and will be your friends later too. This is the one with long hair, her name is Widya and this tomboy, Dini," obviously Beautiful again. We also introduced each other.

I got class 1 AP2 (class 1 office administration 2). It turns out I'm classmate with Indah, Dini, and Widya. Thank God, I got close and good friends.
We were gathered in the field by the school. We were directed to prepare all the trinkets during school orientation. Time to get to know the school environment and new friends. Ah, it must be so much fun tomorrow.
The next day, we were getting ready to carry out the mos as scheduled. The schedule is three days and each day has activities. It was fun, for a moment I forgot about my problems in the village.
I haven't told Fitri in days about my school either. I miss that little brother. I'll call him when I get home from school.
The sound of the device surprised me who was almost asleep. It turns out Fitri's on the phone. Just know I'm thinking about it.
"Assynualaium, Fit? Howareyou? Healthy?" my many.
"Vaalaikumsalam. Thank God I am healthy, brother. Brother healthy?"
"Yes, same. I'm healthy here. You're not busy? Usually the phone's at night?"
"So, sister. There's something I want to tell you, brother," Fitri said.
"I've moved to work, brother. Not in the old place anymore" explained Fitri.
"Loh, what's up? Is there a problem with your employer?" my search.
"No, Brother. There's no problem. It's just, I want a job that's closer than your house. Tired of taking public transportation for a long time" said Fitri.
"Oh .. kirain what is Fit. Just worry,"
"Daddy, Grandma knows?" my many.
"It's okay, brother. I told them earlier. I also just moved to work. The salary here is also greater than in the old place" explained Fitri.
"Yes already. If that's the best, I believe you can. Take care of your health, right?"
"Yes, brother, definitely. What about school, brother?"
"Yes, that's it. Registration is smooth and today, the first day of MOS."
Try it, I used to go to school, brother? Surely I can be on a whim with a new friend," said Fitri.
"You anyway. I used to ask you to go to school, not to. You want your brother to work for you" I replied unkindly.
"Because I know, you have goals. If I'm in school, I can't be as strong and strong as you, brother."
"Stone? What stone does Fit mean? Is there any language you speak?" ask me while laughing.
"Yes stone. It is forbidden to continue school, still kekeh. He told me not to marry, in Gebukin nahan only. What if it wasn't a stone?" fitri replied with a laugh.
"That's the name of Fit's intention, and maybe it's already the way Big Brother is, and so are you," I replied while recalling the difficult times of the time.
Yes too, huh? Yes, brother, do not discuss the past. There's a song Kak, Past, let the past..."
